hey roy, i just got my first mantis last week! so far so good, J.R. (jack the ripper 
) is thriving and is a bunker building machine! Just curious as to if there are any significant differences or ways to determine specific species..... i would take a picture but i dont have a digital camera so im kinda stuck at the moment as to how to get an ID on this guy. He's very young, just under an inch, and is a light brown/red coloring (though it looks like he is getting some green coloring???) havent noticed any significant spots or stripes, but that may be due to the fact that he is so young. any ideas, or am i just kinda stuck until i get a camera? ive looked at your ID site, but its just so hard to tell a difference. thanks for the help! congrats on the successful trip and all the great specimens!
